Apple iPhone and Mac users are being targeted by the same Russian hackers accused of infiltrating the Democratic National Committee servers last year, according to a report from BitDefender Tuesday.

The cybercriminals have enhanced the Komplex Trojan, a MacOS/OS X computer program that can now obtain data backed up from iPhones as well as passwords and screenshots from Mac-based operating systems.

"The analysis reveals the presence of modules that can probe the system for hardware and software configurations, grab a list of running processes and run additional files, as well as get desktop screenshots and harvest browser passwords," Bitdefender said. "But the most important module, from an intelligence-gathering perspective, is the one that allows the operator(s) to exfiltrate iPhone backups stored on a compromised Mac."

Once the malware infiltrates a Mac-based device (possibly through a spear phishing campaign), stolen data is sent back to dishonest third parties by impersonating legitimate Apple domains.

"Once connected...the payload sends a HelloMessage, then spawns two communication threads running in infinite loops," according to Bitdefender. That means your computer's saved passwords, screenshots and iPhone backups are sent to cyber criminals.

Komplex will likely target public figures like journalists, politicians and military personnel, according to Laptop magazine. Still, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Always avoid clicking on links in suspicious emails and make sure to verify the domain name of a sender. Phishing scams are becoming harder to detect, so always remain vigilant.
